The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in God protects you from that. (The Message)
Throughout Proverbs we learn about the importance of wise counsel and seeking the advice of others. This is true for all of us, especially leaders. At the same time, we cannot effectively lead if we are afraid of what people may think. Fear of human opinion can be paralyzing. It is also an easy habit for one to develop.
The remedy is not a head-strong my-way-or-the-highway attitude, but a healthy and strong trust in the Lord that develops a desire to please Him over all others.
